Beginning my NEWEST build; Nissan Skyline R34

[@PrizzaMike]

Just a heads up, KZbin allows us to choose up to 3 thumbnails for a video. I selected 2 styles for this one: Traditional and "Mr. Beast" style. After some time, KZbin will display which thumbnail performed better I personally like the traditional style more, however in order to grow I understand I may need to switch things up occasionally Let me know which thumbnail KZbin showed you and which you prefer!

[@TylerKai421]

i see what i assume is the mr beast style, has your headshot on the right. i think its fine, but i personally prefer your traditional thumbnails

[@screamerchaotix5182]

I had the Fixing my Nissan Skyline with the car on the left and your face on the right. To be honest, the thumbs with a face DO grab my eye a bit more. That said, thank you for not resorting to "KZbin face" just yet -> 😲😲🫨😱😱🤯🤯

[@truhver]

i got the one that said "instant refresh" with just the skyline, i like these traditional ones more but if you started to use the "mr beast" style i wouldnt mind. especially if that gets you some growth on the channel!

[@insector2093]

people are probably going to say the traditional one and i definitly prefer that one too, but all in all.. its just a Thumbnail, if it brings more views i say go for the one that gets you the most views.. People that are subs will watch eitherway

[@GNX.listener]

I personally really like your traditional style, but I would understand why you would switch to the Mr Beast style thumbnail for a while, but only real ones will still watch your videos, with goofy thumbnails and edits, or not.

[@ryan302turbo]

other than Mike, Tim is my second favorite. He has such a good personality. all your close friends to honest.

[@chrity9688]

More Tim content please

[@therealjhall833]

Dope seeing Ant around ! You have to see DJ

[@RHABsss]

That's what I said in the previous video. Would be cool to see them 😂

[@Tsikuni_]

Was hoping they would link up! I think DJ was away in NC when Mike was around 😢

[@Tredecim1331]

I think I speak for all of us when I say we are really proud of how far this channel has come, you never seem to take a loss Mike. And when you do, you turn it into a learning opportunity, really good stuff man :)

[@k1ll3r-xza]

Hey mike! I had a question for you, so December 17th through the 20th, I will be in Chicago, I have a buddy of mine graduating from the navy, And my Supra should be up and running, I figured we could maybe meet up and I could show it to you? You've been a huge inspiration for my car and rebuilding it, if you aern't up for it that's ok! Because I could always come to a meet you're at and show it to you then, I won't have it painted or interior swapped or anything, but if it's gets me there on a 5 hour drive, that's all that matters, but hey thank you for making all these videos and being such a big inspiration for not just me, but for everyone subscribed and all the members of your channel, or just random viewers who stumbled upon your channel, I really can't thank you enough mike, and it's so good to see your channel grow and all the progress on the cars!

[@PrizzaMike]

Hey man! I wish you safe travels on your drive I'll check and see if we can make that time frame work for something. I'm just hoping it's not snowing by then 😬

[@k1ll3r-xza]

@PrizzaMike yeah same here man, and thank you for the safe travels! But yeah no RWD does not mix well with snow 😂, we may end up taking my fiance's truck, and if we do I'll make sure to get pics and videos of driving it! Have a good one mike, and again, thank you for the inspiration!

[@jasper39488]

Can't wait to see the video on this one 😂 hope you guys will be able to make it happen!

[@skpro_jects]

Hey, don't know if you'll see this but here's my input on this exact engine from my own experience, maybe it will be useful to you! I put an RB20DE Neo like yours from a 1998 R34 into my R33 GTST. I mated it to a manual big box from an R34 GTT, all bolt on. This motor is REALLY rev happy and loves timing. I put a twin scroll Holset HX35 on it and kept all the stock intake manifolds, butterfly valve and swirl valves in place. I'm running a standalone AEM V2 ECU and controlling all the solenoids and valves just like the factory ECU. You can tweak the opening of these valves to suit having a turbo, which can greatly help spool and low-mid range response. Everyone loves to throw this manifold away and run front facing but for that you need to slightly port the head ports as they differ in shape. The factory plenum is big enough (and the throttle body!) to allow for a decent amount of airflow through it, so don't be afraid to keep it and test it out. Sometimes a feeling of sluggishness or lack of power can be felt in the 20 Neo and even 25DE Neo motors when one of these valves and their solenoids stop working or opening when they should. I have tested it manually and it's awful; best to visually confirm if yours are opening and closing when they should (specs can be found on the R34 Service manual). Also check the vacuum lines and canister (under the manifold) for leaks or tears. Keep in mind, if you leave the top butterfly actuator unhooked, it will keep the intake plenum open acting as a short runner manifold (this will make it feel sluggish from 0-3650 RPM, then it will feel more peppy). And if you leave the lower swirl valves actuator unhooked from vacuum, it will keep them open at all times which would make it run a bit quicker in reality (air going through main port rather than the two smaller ports) but it will make your fuel economy suffer. Usually those swirl valves remain closed up until 3000 RPM for an automatic car then they open up. Keep in mind neither of these valve systems should ever feel like a "vtec kicked in yo" type of feeling, but the tone of the engine and torque will change. Also, these engines really love a set of NGK BCPR7ES plugs especially if you're gonna be boosting it. It's a cheap plug, but it's proven to work! Also I wouldn't run 10-30 oil in it at all. The aussies have long proven that the best oil to run for any RB is 10w-60 oil, period. I live in a country with very similar weather as in your state, and I run Motul 10-60 in it. Holds amazing oil pressure and no knocking on cold starts. These heads have solid lifters and shims, they can take a beating. They also have a single gapless compression ring on the pistons, which handles boost very well. Their compression ratio from the factory is 9.5:1, and with its two liter displacement, a good tune and properly sized turbo such as an HX35 working in twin scroll, I start making boost at 2000 RPM! Oh and be warned, ACL don't offer conrod bearings for this specific engine. The big ends are 42mm wide compared to regular RB20DET which have 45mm big ends. So your only option are factory NDC bearings. For the mains, they are the same as all other RBs so you can get ACL ones for those. Also the only available head gasket is the factory one, no other will work with this motor (but it holds boost fine, I'm on stock gasket and bolts, holds 15 psi no questions asked). I think with some nice supporting parts and a decently sized turbo, you can make a pretty cool sleeper out of this Skyline. I'm already pushing 350 HP and it can do even more but I'm only tuning based on the factory knock sensors so I'm limited by that. Good luck and I hope this info is useful to you. You can hit me up on my IG @skpro_jects . I have my entire build posted up there. I'm keen to see what you'll do to yours!

[@PrizzaMike]

Insanely great information, thank you so much I will note, I verified the operation of both valves, both seem to open an close normally based on engine load. I couldn't find any vacuum leaks, even did a brake clean spray test to verify. Good to know about the oil weight and plugs! Adding those to the list. Still unsure what would cause it to bog at idle and cruising speeds. Has no problem at all accelerating with 50%+ load Appreciate the info 🙏

[@skpro_jects]

@@PrizzaMike No sweat! Also check up on the VTC solenoid right near injector #1. It's a simple on/off type (not variable like some people say). The intake cam is by default retarded by 20 degrees and once VTC switches on, it "advances" it back to essentially 0*. Sometimes when that is not working correctly, it would lead to similar symptoms.

[@nickthefourdoorfreak1402]

Aussie here, 15w50 or 20w60 for your oil 110% :)

[@Ronnie_S]

10:08 well, how did you think drifting was invented 😅 19:33 Hawthorne Heights Looking forward to a road trip montage in the next video. The R34 looks great; it has probably one of the best looking factory steering wheels. Congratulations on getting this cool car 🎉

[@atombomb6207]

13:50 "yeah he's doin it" is the most real shit fr had my dying in my chair

[@crystalcactuis.w]

12:40 root beer was a W choice

[@GlimpsesGarage]

Amazing vid! From seeing Ant to the AMAZING resto on the headlights, I can’t wait for more videos with this car!!

[@BlueXonar]

7:00 Oh damn, seeing that UCF2X Celsior with the tango-d side repeaters brought back memories of mine. That was a cool car.

[@therestingmitchface6241]

Polishing headlights is one of my favorite things to do. I lowkey get stoked when my friends pull up with crusty headlights haha. It’s such a satisfying job

[@lusv]

The fact you showed up randomly with a r34 sedan is sick. So excited to see you build this car. R34 Sedan catches my eye more than a GTR!

[@ericm6409]

Last two videos have been super great! I love the idea of a new chassis to the channel. Especially it being a skyline and it's stock 😮. I already know it's gonna end up awesome. Can't wait to see the transformation.

[@Antiliv.]

The beginning of an era 🫡

[@PrizzaMike]

Too hyped for this one 😎

[@Antiliv.]

@@PrizzaMike Me too dude, not the biggest 34 guy but you got one I'd get if I were to fall into one lol love me a sedan

[@TylerFrater]

Let’s take a moment of silence for the 240😢

[@Akiss]

Living in Japan here (driving a 90s Bimmer), regular octane is 89-90, high octane is 96 - 100 so definitely smells different than gas in the US.

[@tokirak]

Japan uses a different octane rating scale (RON) than the US (AKI). 98 RON (Japan) = 93 AKI (US) The fuel smells different because of different additives and/or different requirements for the scent additive than the US. If the octane difference was that big, almost everybody with a JDM import would be blowing up engines as soon as they made a pull on their first tank of American fuel

[@irishbandit3437]

2 months ago I bought a 1999 Hr34 rb20de neo 5speed manual with 33,000 km and no rust 🙌🏻 just waiting for insurance to be ironed out and she will be on the road. Mine bogs when cruising but if I get above 3500rpm it gets a lot better (turned out to be the maf sensor)

[@dominicancustom]

Congratulations man, you are living every man's dream.🎉

[@ryanwarwick4852]

Love the Hawthorne Heights reference there at 19:35 😂😂 congrats on the new car, its perfect!

[@V1_JFN]

R34 4dr is a dream car. They just look so good kitted (bonus points if they're wingless).

[@Panster7]

That headlight resto job was insane!

[@hxt3d]

That Celsior @7:00 was beautiful

[@crystalcactuis.w]

Yes

[@jmeskil95]

Can’t wait to see this build come together man! Congrats on the R34!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@hughdick1924]

FYI here in Australia the 25DE NEO engine is a cheap engine that responds very well to boost. I have an unopened one running in my drift car NA+T makes 390hp at the wheels with just bolt ons 15psi tuned on a link ecu, zero blow by 💪

[@ThatWeirdBanana]

Its crazy seeing you getting into even more JDM icon cars loving every second of it, cant wait to see merch for this car!

[@s13_cam240]

Dude. YES! Cannot wait at all to see this thing fixed up man.

[@tywilliams919]

So stoked to see what the future holds for this car!

[@ryan302turbo]

ITB high Compression 5speed, dang man. If I would have not spent 15 plus grand on my E46 I could have a really nice S15. PS I really like the 4 door R34's

[@h2bdc260]

its cool seeing you with the east coast guys. dope vids

[@EssWhhy]

so excited for your plans on this thing. love how all the projects have turned out so i cant wait to see what the plan is for the skyline. glad to see you reach goals. motivates me so much to keep going!!

[@Rom....]

Mike..why could I not meet friends like you back when I was younger..your honest, chilled and inspiring ❤

[@brandonb88]

Out here chillin with ant and dagnell. Dope 🔥

[@Joe-tt3fg]

Dagneeezy

[@uptownsamcv]

NICE!! when it comes to headlight restoration I usually wet sand with 600 grit and put a good clear coat on it, it lasts longer than polishing and looks just as good..

[@RossFuller-c4x]

I think every pizza fan is gonna agree when I say I hope you keep your retro and laid back fun style you hav now I hope your projects stay just old clapped out cars that you make road worthy and have fun with , we love these kinds of builds just in the garage not a huge budget it makes it feel available to people like us keep it up dude you’re doing great !

[@Cobra_427]

The first oil change I did on my Mustang I had to stick a screw driver through it for leverage to get it off, it also had a Fram filter on it that was smaller than the OEM filter

[@PrizzaMike]

That's the worst I was 30 seconds away from trying the screwdriver method lol

[@trentonmontiel7440]

Chill ass saturday with some prizza, loved the pov's on this vid

[@ChefJerfey]

So cool seeing Ant & Dagnell on this one. Been watching Jimmy & them for years

[@mkhalid2028]

19:33 cool little reference to "ohio is for lovers" by Hawthorne lol

[@markfranco760]

This is my favorite video of yours only because I was born in New Haven and lived in East Haven part of my life. Have family still there. Pepe’s pizza is the best in the world as far as I am concerned and I would almost kill for a Foxen Park White Birch Beer Soda even though I haven’t drank soda in over 4 years. Great content!

[@keithstrout1338]

Glad to also see you hooking up with Ct. Crew. Tommy f yeah probably has anything you need for that car on hand. Cool pickup bro

[@kanggoo57]

Dudes just getting a massive backlog of builds. i feel you but damn the teggy needs love, the 240 needs love, all of them do except the gloria.

[@joen2423]

I really like those wheels on it too! Would not take a whole lot to get this looking the way I would want it. All the coolest cars are getting old, unless you pay top dollar for perfect examples they tend to have some character, cosmetically or mechanically at this point.

[@mushlove6933]

Mike running the éS shoes!! My man. I only skate éS slims haha

[@Silk8888]

Actually cant believe ure now an r34 owner. So cool, man.

[@sohaibtoumi9145]

dude the headlights looks mint now wow he actually did a great job can't wait to see you put some wheels on that r34

[@boerharms2209]

danggg not even home yet, and already improved the car soo much! those headlights.. so iconic, now lookin mint!

[@JuanGSR]

So happy to see you get more and more jdm cars man, from the Integras and the 240sx to this

[@psementalist]

Oh boy oh boy howdy my favorite car is a Nissan Skyline GT-R34. I'm so excited to see this build and for anyone who's a . Skyline fan you'd have to be in the dark if you don't know the Nissan Skyline GT-R34 from 2 Fast 2 Furious

F Tommy Yeah

[@Heyman3Thousand]

@scrapelifeQ45 just saying it's a good engine. But probably was talking about the 2.5.

[@Night-Owl-]

Manual swap soon? It really is amazing how headlights change a vehicle. I put new ones in on my moms crv last year as a birthday present while they were on a trip, once she noticed it was like she had a new car. I restored my old jeeps lights and forgot the protector.. 😅 they later started cracking BAD.

[@SpaceBokTellem]

Yb seems chill asf. Like to see him more on the channel 🙌🏼

[@mrvolcaniclemon8340]

Seeing the spark plugs you took out reminded me of the ones I took out of my car when I got it, they were OEM ones and gapped to double the max spec, I didn't see a date in them but I wouldn't be surprised if they were the original ones from 175k miles before I got it

Mikey, you are going to need a mall parking lot soon. I am stoked to see the progress on this beast. Every time i watch , i want to get a project car and dig in.

[@QuattroWayne]

If you get a harness you should thrown the 25 in when you take it out the 240 to under coat paint and prep it

Let’s goooo I know prizza mike gonna make this one nice af

[@perryturpin766]

I’m so happy for you getting the R34!! Been wanting one myself and just might pull the trigger on a 4dr

[@Dwnbyluv]

You got this, congrats btw

[@TheGogal88]

I know some people think they are overhyped, but some white TE37's would go so hard on the silver sedan. Too bad you would have to sell two project cars to buy a full set in good shape lol

[@d1specdrifter]

🎉🎉🎉baddassery bro. Cant wait to see the build up on the r34 sedan. Fun cars to drive.i have owned the r32 and r33 sedans. Need to get me a r34 sedan soon. Rb26 swap it. Mine were.

[@NissanMarchK11]

10:08 when he says « J people can’t drive » well, try to drive and park a R34 Sedan in tiny Japanese streets/roads/parking spaces and let’s see how you perform Bro 😏

[@LukasDriftGamer]

You should get them r34 wheels sent off to get built, step up to 18 or 17 lip and bigger barrel. Would look sick, cheap blitz

[@excitingstuff8209]

Your best car yet ❤
